FYI to all you Republicans calling for Todd Akin to step down from his Senate Race

ALL OF YOU have endorsed this guy in one way or another. He was the man who was suppose to win back Missouri it what was looking to be a GOP pickup.

I'm aghast that John Cornyn, head of the Republican Senate Committee, is asking for Akin to step down. I'm sure he and Akin had plenty of conversations about Akin being the perfect candidate to run against Claire McCaskill for the Missouri Senate Seat. Did Cornyn even bother to check out whether Akin was this stupid or offensive to women? Hell, it seems that's the perfect quality for a GOP Senatorial Candidate.

Each and every one of you republican cowards endorsed the man. At least Akin had the balls to tell people what the republican party is all about. Trust me, if this asshole got into the Senate you'd all be suppporting his anti-women bills that he would gladly put out there just like the one he wrote with GOP VP Candidate Paul Ryan.

If Akin steps down he'll be replace by another anti-woman republican candidate who hopefully will keep his mouth shut during the election.

I know there have to be lots of republican voters who agree with him, I hope they support him and keep him in.
